Take a look at kpython which I uploaded to ftp.kde.org a couple of weeks ago, 
this is a class that encapsulates an embedded python interpreter. It allows you 
to call methods, functions etc., to execute code strings and much more. It's 
based on the simple embedding API described in the O'Reilly Python book.
